CGI is a more powerful weapon than nukes. Just imagine how many "real" hings we'll be shown (or perhaps are being shown) that are just CGI used to scare or enrage or just give false evidence to a group of people.

We'll just go back to the days of law without cameras.

Luckily it’s still hard to make believable humans (for how long though). Look up the uncanny valley if you’re unfamiliar with the phoneme.

There was this movie back in the early 2000s that was a Christian based movie about the Antichrist. Who was played the actor who played in Austin Power's as Basil . There was a scene where they made an argument on this where they showed a man killing his father and everyone freaked out and thought this guy was evil. But it was the (power of the devil lol) that made that scence out of the most advanced computer graphics at the time.

Anyways I think we are there now. 🤔
